Today Silver laid her second egg, two days after her first egg. I knew she was ready to lay when she started going in the nest box. I thought I would try to get a photo of her in the nest box this time. The first photo I got of her she was standing just inside the nest box.
I decided to give her a bit of time to settle in the nest box and then try to get another photo. When I returned Silver had already laid her egg and was standing beside it. She laid her egg very quickly.
Silver’s second egg is on the left and her first egg is on the right. The second egg doesn’t have a blood streak on it which is good and is just a bit longer than her first egg.
What a clever girl!
